Easy Strawberry Cheesecake

Strawberry cheesecake is my 2nd favorite dessert, next to vanilla white cake with strawberries in the middle covered in whipped cream topping. YUM! I wanted to make this easier for myself being I am very busy, going non stop every single day with a 5 year old, 17 year old and 18 year old children. I made this dessert to bring to a family dinner at my brother in laws home. This dessert was gone before I could blink, lol. I literally wanted a second piece but it was gone. So, I made a second one for our family after the party. You Will Need: 1 tub Cheesecake Filling 12 Graham Crackers Crushed 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Stick Butter, melted  1 lb Strawberries, cut 1/2 Cup Sugar 2 tbsp Lemon Juice

Steak Fried Rice

You Will Need:
2 Cups Rice
2 lb. Steak (or Stew Meat, cut thinly)
1 tbsp Garlic Powder
1 tbsp Onion Powder
2 pkgs Stir Fry Blend (Thai & Chinese)
2 Eggs, room temp
4 tbsp Butter, unsalted
Soy Sauce
Oil for cooking steak
Salt & Pepper, to taste
1. Start by bringing water to a boil, and your skillet (or wok) to heat; put on medium high heat and oil. 
2. Cut steak to bite size pieces, season steak and place in your hot pan; you should hear a nice sear when steak hits pan. Add soy sauce to pan while cooking. Cook 5-6 minutes or until desired done-ness.
3. Once water is boiling add rice in and cook according to package (all rice is different, mine cooks 10 minutes only). Drain and set aside.
4. Once steak is done, place on a clean plate and set aside. Place butter in pan and melt; place your stir fry blend in pan and season. Cook until done.
5. Again, remove stir fry blend, set aside
6. Add rice to your hot pan, soy sauce and butter fry for 1-2 minutes, stirring. Add in your stir fry blend, season, and cook. Then stir in steak, soy sauce and allow to heat for 5 minutes. 
7. Make a "well" in the middle of the pan; whisk eggs, and place eggs in the middle, scramble eggs.
8. Once egg are half way scrambled, stir them through the rice and continue to cook another 5 minutes. 
*I triple sometimes 4 times the recipe because this goes fast and we love leftovers.
